How do I invest in a restaurant through RestaurantShares?

Investors can browse restaurant securities on the RestaurantShares marketplace, complete KYC and accreditation verification through Netshares Financial Services, LLC, and invest via Reg D (accredited investors only), Reg CF (open to all investors, limits apply), or Reg A+ (open to all, up to $75M per issuer). After closing, securities may become eligible for secondary market trading through a regulated Alternative Trading System accessible via RestaurantShares.

Can non-accredited investors invest in restaurants on RestaurantShares?

Yes. Restaurants that raise under Regulation CF (Reg CF) are open to all investors aged 18 and older, with investment limits based on annual income and net worth. The maximum raise under Reg CF is $5 million per 12-month period. Investments start as low as $100. Reg A+ offerings (up to $75M) are also open to non-accredited investors. Reg D offerings are limited to accredited investors only.

What types of restaurant securities are available?

RestaurantShares offers several security types depending on the restaurant: Preferred Equity (fixed distribution preference), Revenue Share Notes (distributions tied to gross revenue), Common Equity (ownership stake), and Senior Debt (fixed rate, priority repayment). All securities are digital and tracked by Vertalo, a registered transfer agent.

Who is behind RestaurantShares?

RestaurantShares was founded by David Lee, a 30+ year restaurant industry veteran. David founded and exited Handam BBQ in Houston, TX, served as a franchise consultant under All Star Franchise helping scale LA Crawfish to 28 locations, and personally opened and developed 6 LA Crawfish stores. He is also the CEO and Chief Compliance Officer of Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer.

What are the risks of investing in restaurant securities?

Restaurant investments are high-risk. Approximately 60% of restaurants close within their first year and 80% within five years. Private securities are illiquid — secondary trading requires willing buyers and sellers. Distributions depend on business performance and are not guaranteed. You could lose your entire investment. These investments are not suitable for investors who cannot afford to lose their full investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

How does RestaurantShares work as a marketplace?

RestaurantShares lets investors buy fractional ownership in restaurants through regulated securities offerings. Restaurants are operating businesses that generate real cash flow, enabling quarterly distributions. All transactions are executed by Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and SIPC member.

Q: Is RestaurantShares a broker-dealer?

No. RestaurantShares is a technology platform — not a registered broker-dealer. All securities transactions are executed by Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and SIPC member based in Katy, Texas. You can verify Netshares Financial Services at FINRA BrokerCheck: brokercheck.finra.org.

Q: How does secondary trading work on RestaurantShares?

After a restaurant closes its primary offering on RestaurantShares, securities may become eligible for secondary market trading through a regulated ATS accessible via RestaurantShares — allowing investors to buy and sell with each other. Trades are executed by Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532) and typically settle in T+2. Reg CF investors must hold shares for 12 months before trading. Secondary market trading is facilitated through a regulated Alternative Trading System operated by an independent FINRA-registered broker-dealer. See the disclosures section of our website for full infrastructure details.

The Problem We're Solving

Restaurant ownership is broken.
We're fixing both sides.

The restaurant industry generates over $1 trillion annually in the U.S. — and yet both sides of the table are stuck. Operators can't access fair capital. Investors can't access the deals. RestaurantShares changes both.

For Restaurant Operators

A different option for raising capital.
Raise from the people who already believe in you.

You've built something real. Loyal customers. Consistent revenue. Proven food. Traditional financing options for independent restaurants are limited — and often expensive.

🏦

Banks say no.

Restaurant loans require collateral most operators don't have, personal guarantees, and a process that takes months — by which time the lease is gone.

💸

Merchant cash advances often carry high effective costs.

Industry analyses of merchant cash advance products have reported effective annual percentage rates that frequently exceed conventional lending rates by a wide margin. Daily ACH repayment structures can also strain operating cash flow during slower periods.

🤝

Private equity wants control.

If you're lucky enough to attract a PE partner, they'll want a board seat, veto rights, and an exit timeline that doesn't fit how you run a restaurant.

📈

The private-public valuation gap reflects illiquidity.

Public restaurant companies trade on continuous markets at higher EBITDA multiples than comparable private restaurants. Academic research attributes much of this difference to the illiquidity discount applied to private securities. Outcomes for any individual offering vary.

✓

RestaurantShares gives operators a regulated path to capital. Offer securities to your customers and investors through a FINRA-registered broker-dealer — on terms negotiated in your offering documents, with the structure and control rights you choose.

For Investors

You've always wanted in. The door was never open.

Everyone knows a restaurant they believe in. A spot they've been going to for years. An operator they'd bet on. But investing in it? Until now, that required one of two things — neither of which was accessible to most people.

💰

Write a very large check.

Private restaurant deals historically required $50K–$500K minimum investments — limited to the owner's personal network. No transparency. No formal offering documents. No secondary market to exit.

🤚

Know the right people.

Even accredited investors rarely had access to restaurant deals unless personally connected. There was no marketplace, no due diligence, no standardized structure — word of mouth or nothing.

🔒

Accept being locked in forever.

Even if you got into a deal, there was no secondary market. No way to exit. Your capital was tied up indefinitely — until a sale, or a closure. Most investors said no for this reason alone.

🚫

Non-accredited investors were locked out entirely.

If you didn't meet the $200K income or $1M net worth threshold, private restaurant investment simply wasn't available to you — no matter how well you knew the operator.

✓

RestaurantShares opens the door. Community investors can participate from $100 via Reg CF. Accredited investors get access to Reg D offerings, which may be eligible for secondary trading after applicable resale restrictions. Everyone gets a regulated, transparent, documented offering — not a handshake deal.

"Restaurants are one of the few asset classes where everyday Americans already know the businesses, the operators, and the products. My goal with RestaurantShares is to give them a regulated, transparent way to participate when they choose to — with full disclosure of the risks involved."

— David Lee, Founder · RestaurantShares & Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532)

Capital Structures

Choose how you raise.

Every restaurant is different. RestaurantShares offers five security structures — from simple debt to full equity — each with its own cost of capital, investor profile, and liquidity characteristics. We help you pick the right tool for your business.

🏦

Senior Secured Debt

Lowest Cost · Fixed Rate · Priority Repayment

A loan from your investor base — fixed interest rate, defined maturity, and priority claim on repayment. No dilution of ownership. Ideal for operators who have stable cash flow, need capital for a specific purpose (build-out, equipment, working capital), and want to preserve their equity.

Typical Rate8–14% annually

Term12–60 months

PaymentsMonthly or quarterly interest

Ownership ImpactNone — no equity dilution

Best ForEstablished operators, build-outs, equipment

✓ Typically the lowest-cost equity-alternative on the platform · ✓ Retain 100% ownership · ✓ Fixed repayment schedule you can model · ✓ Secondary market trading eligibility after close

📊

Revenue Share Note

Flexible Payments · No Fixed Maturity · Cash-Flow Aligned

Investors receive a defined percentage of your gross monthly or quarterly revenue until they reach a capped return (typically 1.2–1.5× their investment). Payments flex with your business — lower in slow seasons, higher when you're busy. No ownership dilution, no fixed maturity date.

Investor Return% of gross revenue (e.g. 3–8%)

Return Cap1.2×–1.5× principal

PaymentsMonthly from gross revenue

Ownership ImpactNone — no equity dilution

Best ForSeasonal concepts, community raises, Reg CF

✓ Payments flex with revenue — no fixed cash drain · ✓ Ideal for Reg CF community raises · ✓ Simple for investors to understand · ✓ Secondary market trading eligibility after close

⭐

Preferred Equity

Common Structure · Priority Distributions · Exit Participation

Investors hold preferred shares with priority over common equity in distributions and liquidation. The offering sets a preferred return (6–10% is an illustrative range; actual terms vary by offering and are not guaranteed), and investors participate in any upside on exit. A frequently used structure for growth-stage offerings — balances investor priority with operator retention of common equity.

Preferred Return6–10% annually

DistributionsQuarterly (from operating cash flow)

LiquidationPriority over common equity

Ownership ImpactPartial dilution — preferred class only

Best ForGrowth raises, Reg A+, accredited investors

✓ Common in growth-stage offerings · ✓ You retain common equity and operational control · ✓ Quarterly distribution structure (subject to performance and offering terms) · ✓ Secondary market trading eligibility after applicable restrictions

🔄

Convertible Note

Bridge Capital · Defers Valuation · Converts at Next Round

Debt that converts into equity at a future fundraising round or exit event — typically at a discount to the next round price (e.g. 20% discount) with a valuation cap. Ideal when you need capital now but don't want to set a firm valuation yet. Investors earn interest until conversion.

Interest Rate4–8% (accrues until conversion)

Conversion TriggerNext equity round, secondary market listing, or maturity

Investor Discount15–25% on conversion price

Valuation CapProtects early investors from dilution

Best ForPre-revenue, early stage, bridge to Reg A+

✓ Raise now, set valuation later · ✓ Simpler docs than equity rounds · ✓ Investors rewarded for early risk via discount · ✓ Converts cleanly ahead of secondary market listing

🏛️

Common Equity

Full Ownership Stake · Highest Upside · Long-Term Alignment

Investors buy actual ownership shares in your restaurant entity — the same class of equity you hold. Full participation in profits, distributions, and any future sale or liquidity event. Best suited for established multi-location concepts raising larger rounds where investors want a direct stake in the business.

DistributionsPro-rata share of net profits

Voting RightsTypically non-voting (operator retains control)

Exit ParticipationFull pro-rata on sale or liquidation

Ownership ImpactDirect dilution — highest investor appeal

Best ForMature concepts, Reg A+, multi-location brands

✓ Aligns investors with full business outcomes · ✓ Secondary market trading eligibility after applicable restrictions · ✓ No fixed repayment obligation · ✓ Investor base familiar with the concept

What Secondary Market Eligibility Provides

📈

Price Discovery Mechanism

A secondary market creates the possibility of ongoing, transaction-based price discovery for your securities. Whether that price is higher, lower, or comparable to your offering price will depend on your business performance, investor demand, and market conditions at the time of any trade.

🧲

Expanded Investor Consideration

Some investors decline private offerings because they cannot exit before a business sale or wind-down. Offering securities that may become eligible for secondary market trading gives those investors an additional consideration — though it does not guarantee they will participate.

💰

A Different Capital Conversation

Cost of capital is determined by your offering terms, your business, and investor demand. Secondary market eligibility may affect how investors evaluate the offering, but does not on its own reduce your cost of capital or guarantee improved terms.

🔁

Reference Pricing for Future Rounds

If secondary trading occurs, transaction history may serve as one reference point — among many — when evaluating valuation for a future round. It is not a substitute for full diligence and is not guaranteed to be available or representative.

Secondary market trading requires a willing buyer and willing seller and is not guaranteed. Trading volume in private restaurant securities is typically low. Reg CF securities are subject to a 12-month holding period before any secondary trading. Securities should be considered illiquid and held only by investors prepared to hold indefinitely.

What You Actually Own

Each security type gives you a different relationship with the restaurant. Here's what each one means in plain language — and what you should expect in return.

🏦

Senior Secured Debt

Lender · Fixed Return · First in Line

You are acting as a lender to the restaurant. You receive fixed interest payments on a defined schedule, and your principal is returned at maturity. In a liquidation, you are paid before equity holders. You do not share in profits beyond your fixed rate — but you also bear less risk than equity investors.

What you receiveFixed interest (8–14% typical) + principal at maturity

Payment scheduleMonthly or quarterly interest payments

Upside participationNone — capped at agreed interest rate

Priority on liquidationFirst priority over equity holders

Relative Risk

Lower

📊

Revenue Share Note

Revenue Partner · Flexible Returns · Community-First

You receive a percentage of the restaurant's gross revenue every month or quarter until you reach a capped return (typically 1.2–1.5× your investment). Payments go up in good months and slow in slow seasons — they flex with the business. You are not an equity owner and do not share in profits beyond the cap.

What you receive% of gross revenue until return cap is hit

Return capTypically 1.2×–1.5× your invested principal

Payment scheduleMonthly from gross revenue (flex with sales)

Upside participationNone beyond the cap

Relative Risk

Low–Medium

⭐

Preferred Equity

Common Structure · Priority Distributions · Exit Participation

You hold preferred shares — a class of ownership with priority over common equity holders for distributions and in liquidation. You receive a preferred return per the offering terms (6–10% is a typical illustrative range; actual returns are not guaranteed) before common equity holders receive anything. If the restaurant sells or achieves a liquidity event, preferred holders are paid out first.

What you receivePreferred distributions (6–10% typical) + exit proceeds

Payment scheduleQuarterly from operating cash flow

Priority on liquidationBefore common equity, after debt

Upside participationPro-rata on exit above preferred threshold

Relative Risk

Medium

🔄

Convertible Note

Early-Stage · Converts to Equity · Discount Reward

You start as a lender earning interest, but your note converts into equity at a future event — typically the restaurant's next fundraising round, a secondary market listing, or the note maturity date. You receive a discount (typically 15–25%) on the conversion price as a reward for investing early and accepting more uncertainty.

What you receiveInterest until conversion, then equity at a discount

Conversion discount15–25% off next-round price

Valuation capProtects you from dilution if valuation rises

Upside participationFull equity upside post-conversion

Relative Risk

Medium–High

🏛️

Common Equity

Ownership Stake · Highest Upside · Full Risk

You own an actual equity stake in the restaurant — the same class as the founder. You participate in profits, distributions, and any future sale. Common equity holders are paid last in a liquidation, after all debt and preferred equity. This is the highest risk and highest potential return security type.

What you receivePro-rata share of net profits and exit proceeds

Voting rightsTypically non-voting (operator retains control)

Priority on liquidationLast — after all debt and preferred equity

Upside participationUnlimited — full pro-rata on sale or IPO

Relative Risk

How Liquidity Works — and What It Doesn't Guarantee

This is one of the most important things to understand before you invest. RestaurantShares provides access to a secondary market — but secondary market trading is not guaranteed. Read this section carefully.

🔓 What Secondary Market Trading Is

After a restaurant completes its primary offering and closes, securities may become eligible for secondary market trading on a regulated Alternative Trading System — where existing investors may list their securities for sale and other investors may purchase them. Secondary market trading is facilitated through a regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS) operated by an independent FINRA-registered broker-dealer. See disclosures below for full details.

All secondary trades are executed by Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532) as executing broker and settle on a T+2 basis (two business days after the trade date). Vertalo, a registered transfer agent, handles the digital transfer of securities ownership.

Provides a mechanism for investors to sell before a business exit event
Creates a real-time market price for your securities
Allows new investors to purchase secondary shares after the primary close
Trades execute at agreed prices between buyer and seller

⚠️ What Secondary Market Trading Does NOT Guarantee

The existence of secondary market eligibility is not a guarantee of liquidity. Secondary trading requires a willing buyer and a willing seller — both must agree on a price. There is no market maker. There is no obligation for anyone to purchase your securities.

In practice, secondary markets for private restaurant securities are thin — trading volume is typically low and there may be extended periods where no buyers are available. You should invest only in securities you are prepared to hold indefinitely.

No guarantee that you will find a buyer for your securities
No guaranteed price — secondary market values fluctuate
Low trading volume is common and should be expected
You may not be able to sell when you want or at the price you want
Reg CF securities have a mandatory 12-month holding period before any secondary trading
Secondary market eligibility does not mean the securities have been approved or endorsed by any regulator

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions,
answered.

Common questions about investing in restaurant securities, how the platform works, and what to expect.

RestaurantShares is a technology marketplace that lets investors buy and trade securities in local restaurants. RestaurantShares is a technology platform only, not a broker-dealer. All securities transactions are executed by Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and SIPC member.

Yes. Restaurants that raise under Regulation CF are open to all U.S. investors 18 and older — with investment limits based on annual income and net worth. Minimum investments can start as low as $100. Reg A+ offerings are also open to all investors with raises up to $75M. Only Reg D offerings are limited to accredited investors.

After a restaurant closes its primary offering, securities may become eligible for secondary market trading through a regulated Alternative Trading System. This allows existing investors to list their securities for sale and other investors to purchase them. Trades are executed by Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532) and typically settle in T+2. Reg CF investors must hold shares for 12 months before trading. See the full disclosure section below for details on the secondary market infrastructure.

No — RestaurantShares is a technology platform, not a registered broker-dealer. The FINRA-registered BD is Netshares Financial Services, LLC (CRD #307532), a SIPC member based in Katy, TX. Netshares handles all regulatory compliance, KYC, AML, accreditation verification, and securities execution. You can verify Netshares at FINRA BrokerCheck.

RestaurantShares features four security types: Preferred Equity (priority distributions, senior to common), Revenue Share Notes (distributions as a % of gross revenue), Common Equity (ownership stake), and Senior Debt (fixed rate, priority repayment). All securities are digitally issued and tracked by Vertalo, a registered transfer agent.

Restaurant investment is high-risk. Approximately 60% of restaurants close within year one and 80% within five years. You could lose your entire investment. Securities are illiquid — secondary trading requires willing buyers and sellers. Distributions are not guaranteed. These investments are not suitable for investors who cannot afford total loss. Please review all offering documents carefully before investing.

Traditional bank loans require collateral, personal guarantees, and restrict use of funds. Restaurant securities on RestaurantShares don't require traditional loan repayment schedules — depending on the structure, investors may share in potential upside through equity appreciation and distributions, subject to business performance and applicable restrictions. Operators retain operational control while accessing a broader, more aligned investor base. Securities also create a market valuation that traditional debt does not.
